73' Corvette Stingray Coupe

The Chevrolet Corvette first appeared in 1953 as a unique American entry into the sports
car market dominated by European makes. Although not a muscle car by definition, the Corvette
used muscle car powertrains and has represented American performance for almost fifty years.

After a year's absence, the Stingray name reappeared on the front fenders. Front and rear disc
brakes, headlight washers, center console, wheel trim rings, carpeting, and all-vinyl upholstery
were now standard. This was the first time the coupe outsold the convertible, and would continue
to do so in all subsequent years.

The 1973 Corvette was the fifth generation "Shark" which debuted in the years of the first energy crisis.
The 1973 Corvette was unique among Corvettes in combining a smooth body-colored nose with the original
1968-vintage "Kamm" tail. The front bumpers were updated to meet the new 5 mph standard, but the rear
bumpers remained chrome, the last year the Corvette would use chrome bumpers. Generally, the styling
was cleaner than previous years.
